It
is in Cortina where the difference
between
the mountain range known
as the Dolomites and the rest
of the Alps will be most obvious.
This range which dominates Italy's Sud Tirol,
or South Tirol the
province of Belluno in Veneto Region is more ragged and
aggressive looking than The Alps, and to this writer's
eye anyway, they are often more striking for it.Cortina is in the Ampezzo
Valley, which naturally enough is how the resort
got its
name- Cortina d' Ampezzo. When one visits the
resort,
the names of the surrounding most dominant and striking
of the Dolomite peaks will appear on hotels, shops, ski
schools etc. Cristallo, Tofana and Sorapis are some that
come to mind immediately.
